Continue ReadingBack over to Miami-Dade for outside player of the year candidates. This is just a similar piece to the one I wrote about Broward County. I will not highlight any names featured on my preseason county list. The area has more than enough players to make a good discussion.
Here are some selections…
Edward Nnamoko Edward Nnamoko 6'10" | C Riviera Prep | 2022 State FL – Riviera Prep
“Big Ed” is a massive prospect out of Riviera Prep. The 6-foot-10 center has great hands and touch around the rim. Nnamoko is a monster down low and will score continuously inside ten feet. Furthermore, he has great footwork and post moves. Nnamoko moves well for a big and can run the floor. He should only improve as basketball is fairly new to him. Nnamoko holds offers from Longwood, Winthrop, Tulsa, Temple, Old Dominion and Samford.
Esteban Lluberes Esteban Lluberes 5'10" | PG Riviera Prep | 2022 State FL – Riviera Prep
2022 Esteban Lluberes Esteban Lluberes 5'10" | PG Riviera Prep | 2022 State FL was a prospect I considered for this list, so there’s no way I’m leaving him off here. The 5-foot-9 point guard is a fierce competitor and plays above his size. Lluberes has plenty of body to attack the rim and finish. His athleticism is pure and he can score from all three levels. Lluberes has great vision and awarness to be an everyday point guard. He’s definitely a player I want with the ball in his hands with the game on the line.
Cameron Johnson Cameron Johnson 6'5" | SF Norland | 2022 State FL – Miami Norland
2022 Cameron Johnson Cameron Johnson 6'5" | SF Norland | 2022 State FL is an underrated player in the county. He has plenty of athleticism to play the wing at 6-foot-5. As a junior, Johnson averaged 15.1 points and 5.1 rebounds while shooting 57 percent from the field. Those are good numbers and Johnson helped the Vikings win 19 games. Just keep an eye out for him. He might get overlooked playing alongside 2024 Marcus Allen Marcus Allen 6'4" | SF West Orange | 2021 State FL .
Koree Cotton Koree Cotton 6'4" | SF Souhtridge | 2023 State FL – Miami Southridge
You have to be a fan of 2023 Koree Cotton Koree Cotton 6'4" | SF Souhtridge | 2023 State FL coming out of the backcourt. At 6-foot-6, he can be a factor at the one or two. You won’t find many players with his frame and athleticism at the position. Cotton will be able to exploit his matchup with his measurables and score at will. He should be a 15/5/5 player for Miami Southridge.
Others to consider:
Cameron Boozer Cameron Boozer 6'9" | PF Columbus | 2025 State #2 Nation FL – Columbus
Cayden Boozer Cayden Boozer 6'5" | PG Columbus | 2025 State #28 Nation FL – Columbus
*Two freshman ^ here that bring a ton of hype (and talent). I’m looking forward to watching them work this season. They have a good team around them to practice against and learn.
Cheikh Sadibou Cheikh Sadibou 6'9" | PF Rivera Prep | 2023 State FL – Champagnat Catholic
Amare Sanders Amare Sanders 6'2" | CG Gulliver Prep | 2024 FL – Gulliver Prep
